Crazy and bad again, the princess is the best in Beijing
Chapter 37 The King Can Only Marry You
When Jibei woke up, he felt severe pain in the back of his neck. He subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch it, but found that he couldn't move.
When he opened his eyes, he found that he was tied up.
Shi Wanwan sat on a large carved chair, drinking tea and looking at him with a half-smile.
His expression was slightly awkward: "I have no ill intentions."
Shi Wanwan asked, "Did you come here on your own, or was King Chong sent?"
Jibei replied: "I came here on my own, it has nothing to do with the prince."
He was beaten with a military stick last night and was supposed to stay in bed to rest, but he couldn't sit still.
When he heard that Lu Xingzhi was coming to the princess's mansion, he came to watch the show.
He did see the play, but was almost beaten to death.
As expected of a woman that his prince would take a fancy to, she is indeed fierce!
Shi Wanwan sneered, "In my opinion, anyone who comes to someone else's house without their permission is not a good person."
"You are the guard of King Chong. Since I can't get anything out of you, I can only ask King Chong."
Ji Bei's face turned pale: "Princess, please spare my life! If the prince knew that I sneaked into the princess's mansion, he would beat me to death!"
Shi Wanwan forced a fake smile and said, "That's great. I can even watch a play at the same time."
Jibei: “…”
He felt pain in his face.
The audience ends up watching their own play, which is a really bad experience.
Shi Wanwan did what she said and immediately had Shen Yi tie Ji Bei up and take him to Chongwang Mansion.
If you think about it carefully, Prince Chong's Mansion is not far from the Princess's Mansion. There is just a river in between, so you have to go around a bit. The carriage took nearly a quarter of an hour to get there.
Shi Wanwan did not send a visiting card, but instead said to the palace's doorman, "We caught a thief in the palace today."
"I originally wanted to send him to Jingzhao Prefecture, but he said he was a guard at Chongwang Palace."
"So this princess personally sent him here to see if what he said was true."
Even though Jibei lowered his head so low that he almost put it in his crotch, the doorman recognized him as Jibei at a glance.
The doorman hurriedly invited her into the palace, and then sent someone to invite Xie Xuanzhi.
When Xie Xuanzhi heard this, he was so angry that he laughed, but he couldn't ignore Ji Bei, so he asked someone to invite Shi Wanwan to the flower hall.
This was Shi Wanwan's first time to visit the palace.
The Chongwang Mansion is a century-old mansion. The trees inside are very tall, and the pavilions and terraces also have a sense of time. Although they are exquisite, they have a heavy atmosphere.
Every flower, tree and rockery inside seems to have their own story.
When Shi Wanwan arrived at the flower hall, Xie Xuanzhi had already arrived. He was wearing a snow-white robe today, less fierce than last night and more elegant.
But she had seen his fierce appearance and would not be fooled by his elegant appearance at this moment.
She was about to explode when Xie Xuanzhi said, "The guards in the mansion are naughty and have caused trouble for the princess."
"I wonder what he stole from the Princess's mansion? I am willing to compensate him."
His good attitude made Shi Wanwan feel embarrassed to even say a word of condemnation.
After all, he had always acted very strong in their previous meetings. She had prepared a lot of speeches before coming, determined to win over him in terms of momentum.
But she felt uncomfortable if the matter was just left like this.
She immediately put her hands on her hips and said, "He must pay for what he stole."
"But the fact that he has such a bad habit is enough to prove that the prince is not strict in disciplining him."
Xie Xuanzhi looked like he was willing to learn from her: "You are right, my princess."
Shi Wanwan was about to retort him when her words were cut off again. It felt like she was punching cotton.
She stared at Xie Xuanzhi with wide eyes. He smiled slightly and waved his hand. The chief secretary Ye Qingcheng came over with a box.
Xie Xuanzhi opened the box, and in an instant, the flower hall was filled with brilliant light.
Shi Wanwan took a closer look and saw a night-shining pearl as big as an adult's fist in the box.
Night pearls of this size are extremely rare even in the imperial palace.
In the original owner's memory, there was no such large night pearl even when the princess's mansion was at its most powerful.
She looked at Xie Xuanzhi, and he said calmly, "I'm here to apologize to the princess."
"This night-light pearl is my apology to the princess. The princess can make a list of the things Jibei stole, and I will compensate you accordingly."
Shi Wanwan: “…”
What is deep pockets?
This is called being rich and powerful!
She originally thought that the 12,000 taels of silver he took out last night was already very generous, but she didn't expect him to be even more generous today!
He was obviously not easy to talk to when they first met, but now he has suddenly become so easy to talk to, which she finds a little hard to adapt to.
She asked, "Your Highness is so generous, aren't you afraid that I will blackmail you?"
Xie Xuanzhi's eyes were gentle: "I believe in the princess's character."
Shi Wanwan smiled and said, "I'm grateful for your high regard, Your Highness. However, I'm greedy for money. I don't even trust my own character when it comes to money."
Xie Xuanzhi also smiled and said, "Then please name your price, Princess. When the value you offer exceeds half of the palace's value, I will have no choice but to marry you home."
Shi Wanwan was about to open her mouth and say: "..."
She met Xie Xuanzhi's playful eyes, gritted her teeth slightly, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is really good at telling jokes. I have a fiancé."
Xie Xuanzhi nodded: "I know about this matter, the fiancé who eats shit."
Shi Wanwan: “…”
Could it be that he has other spies in the princess's mansion?
Xie Xuanzhi saw through her intention and said calmly, "The news that the princess fed Lu Xingzhi shit today has spread all over the capital. It's hard for me not to know about it."
"I also heard that the princess has gone crazy. She always goes crazy at the right time. I am very envious of her."
Shi Wanwan bared her teeth at him: "Yes, this princess will go crazy when provoked. Your Highness, please be careful in the future."
Xie Xuanzhi looked at her with interest and said, "Well, how about you go crazy right now for me to see?"
Shi Wanwan snatched the box from Ye Qingcheng's hand and said as she walked out, "I will have someone deliver the list of items your guard stole later. Your Highness will just compensate you according to the price."
Xie Xuanzhi didn't stop her. After she walked away, he looked at Ji Bei.
Ji Bei knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "I was wrong. Please punish me, Your Highness."
Ye Qingcheng uttered a soft "tsk". "He is indeed the guard who admits his mistakes the fastest but never corrects them."
"He was able to escape after being beaten with fifty military sticks. It seems the executioners were lenient."
Xie Xuanzhi said calmly, "Yesterday, the executioner and Jibei were punished together, fifty military sticks per day."
"If anyone can stand up after this beating, the executioners will continue to punish them."
Jibei: “!!!!!!!”
This time he's really going to be crippled!
He went to receive the punishment listlessly.
Ye Qingcheng stood beside Xie Xuanzhi and asked, "Does the prince seem to be very special to Princess Yongning?"
Xie Xuanzhi didn't answer but asked, "Isn't she special enough?"
